Healthy Pizza
Ingredients
2 pounds cauliflower florets, riced
2 organic eggs, beaten
½ cup organic parmesan (finely shredded)
3 tablespoons coconut flour
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon each garlic powder and chili flakes
Pinch of sea salt
Toppings I like:
Organic no sugar added pizza sauce
Organic fresh mozzarella or goat cheese
Sundried tomatoes
Green olives
Fresh arugula
Directions
Preheat your oven to 400F.
To make the cauliflower rice, pulse of raw cauliflower florets in a food processor, until a rice-like texture is reached. Fill a large pot with ½ cup of water and bring to a boil. Add the cauliflower and cook for 8-10 minutes. Drain into a fine-mesh strainer. Then using a clean dish towel add
cauliflower and squeeze any excess water out by ringing out the towel. In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients until everything is combined and forms into ball.(Use your hands) Press your dough out onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Don’t skip the parchment paper! Keep the dough about ⅓” thick and make the edges a little higher for the crust effect.
Bake for 20 minutes at 400F. Then lower the oven to 300 and bake for additional 45 minutes. The crust should be golden brown and crispy when finished.
Now is the time to add all your favorite pizza toppings: sauce, cheese, lean meats, and veggies!!! Go crazy!
Return the pizza to the 400F oven, and bake an additional 5-10 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Slice and serve immediately! Enjoy!
